Try out the popular linux video / audio / graphics programs using a bootable 'live' usb drive. Get Ubuntu Studio https://ubuntustudio.org/
Installation https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/14912/cr...ash-drive/ Apparently Rufus works for Windows users https://rufus.ie/

Ohh ... this is really interesting and even more scary!
I saved all these links in a bookmark folder in the browser where I will be able to consult them again.
This subject (Linux, partition, typing DOS commands, etc.) is totally unfamiliar to me.
I started a quick and superficial reading on the How-To Geek page just to get a sense of the degree of difficulty and understanding that I would have or not.
I find terms like:
"If you’re creating a live USB drive from a live disk, ensure Ubuntu’s Universe repository is enabled before you continue. You can do that by running the following command:" - "sudo add-apt-repository universe"
Reading that or Greek or Chinese is almost the same for me
I don't know what a "live disk" is, or a "repository", let alone where he expects me to type these commands.
Ok, I'm a noob and maybe that article is aimed at more experienced users or at least familiar with Linux.
Still, maybe this weekend or the next, I will try to focus on reading this article and trying to understand it.
rich2005, thank you very much!
Krikor, sorry for necroposting, but what did you use in the end?
I'm currently looking for something that would help me to make timelapse videos for digital paintings. So just like you, I need only basic functions from the program like active pause, simple edits, and such. I had a look at KDEnlive meetdilip recommended and it looks way too complicated (unfortunately, I have zero expertise in video editing).
